ZAPPIO MEGARO

The building has had a turbulent history, but no less so than the uses to which it was put. Rarely did it fulfill its initial purpose, and indeed it remained closed and deserted for years. During the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, the fencing events were hosted in its circular atrium; during the second International Olympic Games in 1906, the lack of infrastructure and facilities led to its being used as the “Olympic Village”. In addition, starting in 1936 and for the next 40 years, it hosted the country’s first state radio station. In 1940 it was converted into a hospital; the following year it was commandeered by the German occupation army after which it became a storehouse and later a barracks (1944). It was even bombed during the same year. After the war, the possibility was discussed of demolishing it. The most recent renovation was carried out in connection with the Olympic Games of 2004 which were held in Athens. The Zappeion Exhibition Hall has witnessed the history of Athens for the past 120 years.

Thessaloniki or Salonica is the second city of Greece and one of the oldest cities in Europe. It was founded in 316 BC, on a site of old prehistoric settlements going back to 2300 B.C., by Cassander, King of Macedon. He named it after his wife Thessalonica, the sister of Alexander the Great. Today, Thessaloniki is an important commercial port with a population of 1,000,000, located on the shores of the Thermaikos Gulf, besides it is an active center of commerce and culture not only of Greece but also of the Balkan Peninsula. The local industry has been continuously developing, while trade, traditionally the strong point of the city, is prospering.

The city is composed of two sectors, the modern sector and the old city. The old city is where most of the views are. In the old city it will be mostly Byzantine churches and buildings that you are looking for. They are what Thessaloniki is famous for. You can get glimpses of “Old Salonica” in the walled Kastra quarter of the city, on the hillside beyond the modern grid of streets. While the modern areas are full of excellent examples of recent architecture that are interesting enough if you are into that kind of thing. The city’s landmark is the White Tower, which also houses a Byzantine museum. Worth visiting is the Archaeological museum that exhibits findings of the archaic, classical and Roman periods as well as the church of Saint Dimitrios, the holy patron of the city. Thessaloniki is also known for its exceptional nightlife with the famous Ladadika quarter. Here you will find bars and clubs playing great music as well as restaurants and ouzeris among the best in Greece.
